The Carter's

This precious little boy is 11 months old tomorrow. i can't believe it! it just seems made up. i'm sure i'm going to be rolling my eyes at this when i look back at this in 16 years and think THAT is really unbelievable... but i still think he might be 4 months old...ok, a walking talking 4 month old...yep, that's what i've got. i love this little 4 month old newborn. and he loves his binkie.

Look at her sleeping...we have come SOOO far. This exact time last year we had just started a terrible phase of Liza not NOT sleeping and i was 8 months pregnant. It was awful..that's all i can say about it. awful! haha! so this picture is a trophy for jason and I...we made it! yahoooo! the anniversary of us ALMOST (oh, we probably lost them, who are we kidding) losing our minds from lack of sleep! :) haha!

she still gets up in the middle of the night to come sleep with us but she is pretty easy to put down now..no sitting in her room, no putting a screaming kicking child back in her bed 99999 times in a row, no sleeping in her bed, no sitting in the chair in the hall, no blow up mattress in the hall. nothing.nada..a kiss and sweet dreams..it has been a long road to get there but we are here..finally!!



Look at this little newborn..

Liza was writing her name on her easel last week and i was yelling for jason to come see her do it. then liza starting screaming as loud as she could

"HELLLLOOO..COME SEE THE AMAZZZZZING LIZA!" "WATCH HER WRITE HER NAME!"

look at these real life newborns i got to hug and kiss on today...rowe and ryder...so sweet! i just love them!

I have to leave this whole week for new orleans for work...my mom and dad are coming to help jason on wed. i DREAD these meetings...i won't get back till really late on friday and i am sick about it. it makes me anxious and i can't shake this feeling in my tummy. so far i have organized all of their outfits into plastic baggies for each day! haha! i told liza tonight that i was going on an airplane and coming back this weekend and she broke down and was so sad. she kept crying "but mama, i'm going to miss you so bad!" this is VERY unlike her..this child doesn't have an ounce of separation anxiety. have i mentioned that i DREAD these meetings?

oh ya, and i'm THANKFUL for my job. it feeds my babies. i guess they would feel hungry without it! :(

(thought i should put that thankful part in for good karma)

we are coming out of such a fun weekend! coco and cricket took the kiddos fri night to springfield while we celebrated kim's 30th at the lake! it was so much fun..we had a full on dance party till the wee hours.
